Early embryo development is dependent on the regulation of maternal messages stored in the oocytes during the maternal‐to‐zygote transition. Previous studies reported variability of oocyte competence among different inbred mouse strains. The present study aimed to identify the maternal transcripts responsible for early embryonic development by comparing transcriptomes from oocytes of high‐ or low‐ competence mouse strains. In vitro fertilization embryos from oocytes of different mouse strains were subject to analysis using microarrays, RNA sequencing, real‐time quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) analysis, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence. One candidate gene, Prkce, was analysed using Prkce knockout mice, followed by a cRNA rescue experiment. The fertilization and 2‐cell rate were significantly higher for FVB/NJ (85.1% and 82.0%) and DBA/2J (79.6% and 76.7%) inbred mouse strains than those for the MRL/lpr (39.9% and 35.8%) and 129S3 (35.9% and 36.6%) strains. Thirty‐nine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were noted, of which nine were further verified by RT‐qPCR. Prkce knockout mice showed a reduced 2‐cell rate (Prkce +/+ 80.1% vs. Prkce −/− 32.4%) that could be rescued by Prkce cRNA injection (2‐cell rate reached 76.7%). Global transcriptional analysis revealed 143 DEGs in the knockout mice, which were largely composed of genes functioning in cell cycle regulation. The transcription level of maternal messages such as Prkce in mature oocytes is associated with different 2‐cell rates in select inbred mouse strains. Prkce transcript levels could serve as a potential biomarker to characterize high‐quality mature oocytes. Oocyte competence is variable among different mouse strains, most likely due to the differential abundance of maternal transcripts in the oocyte during MZT. One candidate gene, Prkce, plays an essential role in facilitating MZT, especially during the first cleavage. The expression level of the Prkce transcript appears to be associated with different oocyte competence in different mice strains.
